Next manager to leave Eredivisie 2018/19

The Eredivisie is the highest tier of professional football in Netherlands. It is one of the top 15 leagues in Europe. The division consists of 18 clubs and at the end of each season; the clubs at the bottom are automatically relegated to the second level of the Dutch league system, the Eerste Divisie. Ajax has been the most successful club in the league and has produced some talents who went on to become football legends. PSV has been the second most successful club in the league. In the 2017/18 season, 10 managers (including caretakers) left their club during of before the season started.

Eredivisie is a very competitive league; no one wants their club to get demoted to the first division. Sometimes because of bad performance the club decides to sack the manager sooner rather than later in order to avoid missing out from Europe or relegation. The managers who could be the first one to leave their club are:

Mitchell van der Gaag Current club: NAC BredaThe former Dutch footballer is now the manager of NAC Breda. He was appointed as the manager in 2018, before the 2018/19 season. But the club has been struggling very badly this season after losing a lot of matches. The club is currently at the bottom of the table after playing eight matches. They lost seven of the eight matches and won only once. With this rate, the club has a big chance of getting relegated. The board may decide to get rid of him soon.

Danny Buijs Current club: FC GroningenDanny Buijs retired as a player at Kozakken Boys and started his managing career there. He managed the club for four years before joining FC Groningen in 2018. But he has not been able to do a very good job at the club in 2018/19. The club currently sits in the relegation zone after eight matches. They have managed to win only 1 out of those 8 matches. The manager could lose his job in the upcoming days.

Van 'T Schip, John Current Club: PEC ZwolleVan 'T Schip, John is an experienced manager, who has been managing since 2001. He was the assistant manager of the Netherlands national team for four years. As a player, he has won the league a few times but as a manager, he hasn’t been very successful. He joined PEC Zwolle in 2017 as their manager. The club finished 9th last season and missed out on Europa League play-offs. This season the club sits on 10th after 8 matches. The club could lose patience and decide to sack the manager.
